Another Salt Spring.

Messrs. Il. G.. Healy- & Co. have recently
discovered a spring about 100 yards distant
from that of Marsh & Co., which, it is
claimed, possesses all the curative proper
ties of the former, and indeed is identical
with it in every respect. They have gone
to work in earnest, blasting and tubing the
rock from whence the healing stream arises,
erecting refreshment stands, ten-pin alleys
bath rooms, etc, and enclosing the whole
under spacious and ornamental pavilion,
which makes quite an imposing appearance.
In addition they have constructed a first
class street railway near two miles in length
from Austell, which runs constantly, and
carries visitors for SC. to the vicinity of the
springs. The motive power of this road will
soon he supplemented by steam. At present,
for lack of right of way, it stops short of the
spring about 300 yards, but the present Leg
stature has been petitioned to pass an act
afforcling the necessary relief in the premi-
ses, and the work of improving the grounds
is going on rapidly Recently at a public
sale lots in the vicinity commanded high
prices, and another auction is to come off in
few days Indeed, so popular are the
waters of both these salt springs, that flour
ishing villages will soon grow up all around
them.
The Salt Springs Hotel, situated at the
depot, is run in connection with the new
spring, the proprietor, Mr.. s. B. Thompson,
being a member of the firm of Healy &
Co., and part owner of the street railroad.
If il be true that competition is the life of
trade, both of these healing founts win soon
be widely known and generously patronized.
The Salt Springs Hotel enjoys good repu-
tation from those who have stopped there.

THE RICE CROP OUTLOOK.
The Acreage Much Less Than Last
Year-Effect of the Rains.

The Acreage Much Less Than Last
Year Effect of the Rains.
So far as the present season has progressed
it has been anything but favorable to the
rice crop, and the indications are that the
yield will be by no means so great as that
of last year A number of planters have
not taken interest in the crops this year,
and have allowed their land to lie idle
Along the river there are $3.50 acres that
were cultivated last year that were not
planted this year, and this viii cut quite a
large figure in the aggregate yield. The
cold spring kept back the early rice, and 1t
will be from nine to twelve days late, but
it has not yet been injured.
The rain of the last week will play sad
havoc with the young rice unless clear
weather continues, for the grass is growing
in the fields and it is impossible to get it out
while the rain lasts. Some of the planters
cleared their fields before the rains set in,
but most of the plantations need attention,
which must be given them soon or the grass
will choke the rice. The clearness of the
weather yesterday gave rise to the hope
that it will continue, and if it does the crops
will not be injured, for there is sufficient Ia
Dor to weed out all the fields as soon us they
can be reached

AN ERROR CORRECTED,

But It Was Not Made by the Reporter.
OFFICE BIRMINGHAM AND ATLANTIC
AIR LINE RAILROAD COMPANY, SAvAN-
NAH, GA, July S.--Editor Morning Ne,cs:
Permit me to correct an error which made
on yesterday in my remarks before the
Board of Trade in regard to the advantages
to he derived by Savannah from the con
struction of the Birmingham and Atlantic
Air Line railroad in the item of freight
charges.
The line of this road from here to Macon
being tweuty-six miles shorter than the Cen
trnl will, | should have said, if it charges
the maximum rates allowed 10y the State
Railroad Commission, diminish Savannah
freight charges 10 1-2 per cent. Between
Savannah and Americus it will diminish
the freight charges % 2-3 per cent, and be
tween Savannah and Birmingham, with its
immense business, the road will be com
PEELED, by State laws, to charge by the mile
fixed rates, which will diminish the freight
charges over 1S per cent. Altogether, a
saving to Savannah alone, of an immense
sun of money per annum.

THE FORDs' SUCCESS.

Their Fourth Performance of "Pink
Dominoes" Last Night.
The Fords played 'Pink Dominoesn be-
Tore tiue audience last night for the benefit
Of the Episcopal Orphans Home building
fund. 1t was the fourth time that the
piece has been played here by the Forcls this
season, but it took even better than it did
the first time. The sale of tickets was much
larger than the audience, and the manage
ment melted neat sum. The cast of the
piece was the same as Mt former
presentations. Larry Doyle as
'Uncie Joskin" is the principal character,
and he made the most OF the part. He was
admirably supported. MessrS Hanley and
McCabe, Joe Doyle and Fleming were each
loudly applauded. Misses Baker and
Maeder and Miss White and Miss Farrar
constituted the remainder of the cast.
The audience was in good humor, and it
laughed and applauded 10y turns 1t may
be said that Pink Dominoes' was never
played better in Savannah than it was last
night. The Forcs' next play will be Sara
toga."

All Want to Sell.

A Cleveland club agent who was in the
towns of the Southern League last week
looking for players, and ready to purchase
if desirable ones could be found, returned
two days ago He says that the Southern
League cannot live a month longer, that the
players are all wild TO get away, and that
some of the clubs treat their men so badly
that the Southern League should never again
be granted protection under the national
agreement Men are fined for the purpose
of curtailing expenses, and no club
outside of New Orleans is making
money All are hanging on to sell their
players at fabulous prices. There are some
good men in the clubs There are Smith,
Campau, Cartwright, Andrews, Firle,
Hogan, Bradley, Jack Hayes, Nicholas,
Powell, and few others. But these are not
prizes by any means, and the release of not
one of the men named can be bought for less
than $1,000, Maul's sale by Nashville to
Philadelphia for s., 900 set the clubs crazy,
and every one of them have Mauls, or claim
to have. 1t is very doubtful if the South
ern League will ever have protection under
the national agreement again.

THE HURRICANE SEASON.
The Characteristics of Tropical Cy
clones and How They Develop.

The characteristics of Tropical Cy-
clones and How They Develop.
The Pilot Chart for July, issued by the
photographic Office, says, relative to the
West India hurricanes: As the time is rap
idly approaching when the tropical cyclones
may be expected and prepared for by the
navigator of the Southern and Western
Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico the tracks of several which have oc-
Cured early in the season in past years are
plotted on this number of the Pilot Chart,
and brief outline is given as practical
guide to the indication of their approach
and the best course for safety.
Briefly, such storms are generated i'll the
tropics, near the limits of the belt of equa-
torial rains and Gains, take up u slow, pro-
gressve march to the westward about sew
enteen miles an hour, curving away from
the equator toward the poles Slowing down
a little on the turn, and then to the east
ward with higher velocity about twenty
miles an hour, widening area and
slowly dying energy. In addition to
this comparatively slow progressive
movement along a curved track there
is n rotary motion around a calm spot
at the centre, left-handed, or against the
sun, in the northern hemisphere, and right
handed, or with the sun, in the southern
heavy rain and violent squalls, are the ones
so dreaded, both at sea and on land. AT the
centre there is calm spot of from ten to
thirty miles diameter, often with blue sky
and a brief spell of pleasant weather, and
then the gale is felt again in seemingly re-
doubled violence from the opposite point Of
the compass.
AS every cyclone is accompanied by an
anti-cyclone, or region of high barometer,
SO here the cyclone itself is surrounded by a
ring where the barometer is above the nor
NAL, with fair cool, dry weather and anti
cyclonic winds. But as the barometer rises
| the wind becomes light and variable, or dies
away; the long, low swell of the ocean in
creases noticeably; the barometer begins to
| fall slowly at first, then more rapidly; the
| air becomes less clear, light cirrus or GIRO
| stratus clouds appear and thicken gradually,
| with haloS around the sun and moon; the
atmosphere seems heavy, hot and moist
dark red and violet tints are seen at the rising
| and setting of the sun, deepening in inten-
| sity day by day. Soon the cloud bank of
the hurricane appears like a distant noun
| tain range on the horizon, the barometer
falls more rapidly, the wind freshens and
the first nimbus and cumulous clouds appear,
with gusts, light rains and passing squalls.
! The diameter of the area covered by such
storm, including the anti-cyclone ring,
may be as great as 900 miles; of the storm
| cloud area, about 500 miles, and of that of
! the storm wind proper, about 300 miles. AS
| the storm advances in its course its dimen-
| sions increase and the attendant phenomena
are all less marked, until it gradually dissi-
| pates itself in the middle latitude of the tenn
| perate zone.

NEW GUN CLUE ORGANIZED.
! Clay Pigeon Shooting One of the
Popular Sports of the Day.

Clay Pigeon Shooting one OF the
Popular Sports of the Day.
Clay pigeon shooting is rapidly becoming
one OF the most popular sports in the coun-
try Not less than 50, 900 clay pigeons were
used by the gun clubs of Savannah last
| season. This gives something of an idea
how the sport is patronized.
There are now three gun clubs in the city.
The Chathams and Forest Citys were or
ganized three years ago. The LeFever Gun
Club, which makes the third, has just been
organized Its officers are:
President-7James II. Hunter.
Vice Presidcnt-T b. Thompson.
Secretary and Treasurer-George S. Nc
Alpin.
The club is organized chiefly from the
membership of the other two clubs and is
named after the inventor of the LeFever
gun, which the club uses altogether. Several
months ago Mr.. A. q. Courtney who is one
of the best gun experts in the country,
came to Savannah, and while here ex
hibited IeFever gun. The members of
both the Chatham and Forest City clubs
were at once taken with it, and it has been
generally adopted So well were the mem
bers of the new club pleased that
they named the club LeFever, after the in
ventor of the gun. The club starts Off with
twelve members aud nearly every one of
them is a crack shot. Under the rules of
the National Gun Association it cannot com
pete with the other clubs until it has been
organized thirty days. Challenges will be
sent to both the Forest City and Chatham
clubs next week and the first match will be
shot in August The clubs practice day
will be Tuesdays. The Chathams shoot ON

BY STEAMER TO TYBEE.
OpENING or THE RAILROAD DE-
LAYED BY THE RAINS.


The Directors Anxious to Accommo-
date the Public and VIII Establish q
Temporary Steamboat Line 49, The
Work on the Road Being Pushed as
Fast as II Can Bottle Ocean House
Open.
The unlocked for delays in opening the
Tybee railrod have been a source of great
disappointment not only TO the public but
h the management as we'll. The Board of
Directors made a trip TO the island yesteg-
iav by the steamer Pope Catlin for the pur
pose of asce. tanning the practicability of
establishing temporary means of communi-
cation between the city and the island for
the accommodation Of those who are anX-
iously waiting an opportunity TO enjoy the
delightful sea bathing at that favorite re
sort The party landed at the wharf and
went by train 10 the Ocean House. The old
wharf was found to be in good condition
and the railroad tracks on the island in
splendid order.
The management, however, was not desi-
rous of establishing steamer line, in view
of the fact that, with fair weather, the rail
road will he in good running order within
u
who are interested III the island, and desire
to accede to the demands of the public, par
tally determined them to charter steamer
TO run between the city and Tybee for the
next week and if suitable arrangement can
be made this temporary route Will be
opened tomorrow.
While al Tybee the visitors inspected the
Ocean House, and took supper with Mr..
Hodges the proprietor. The hotel is hand
somely fitted up throughout with new fur
niturc, and there is a general look of thrift
about it that will be pleasant to its guests.
The culinary department has been enlarged
10 double its former capacity and the latest
kitchen improvements put in. Those who
visit Tybee this season will be delighted at
the changes that have been made. Mr. John
Wright's house, formerly McVeigh's, has
also been refurnished, and is ready for
guests
People who have not been to I'ybee since
the advent of the railroad, will be surprised
Rt the changes which have been made on
the island. Besides the railroad tracks, turn
outs and switches, which give it a city-like
appearance. the sandhills have been cut
away from the side of the road and around
the hotel, the underground has been cleared
away, and bitches have been opened through
the low lands in the rear of the beach set
Element. Ii is hoped that the management
will decide TO establish the temporary
route mentioned so rs TO bridge over to a
certain eAtent the few remaining days
before the locomotive will take the thou
sands who are anxiously waiting to visit
Savannah's seaside resort In another week
''those who go down to the sea-" not in
ships, but in a handsomely furnished car,
win find that a we'll built railroad has been
constructed through the marshes which in
tervene between the city and the ocean, and
well kept hostelries provided for their enter
tainment at Tybee.

A Charleston truck grower said dav or
two ago that he thought the Charleston
farmers as a whole have good reason to feel
satisfied with the results of the past season,
because they have not only done better than
last year, but have been more fortunate
with their crops than their competitors from
Florida to New York. The season was very
unfavorable for truck raising all over the
country, but Charleston seemed TO have
suffered much less than other places in this
respect
The publications of the Rev Messrs.
Heard and Sinclair regarding discrimina-
tionS shown in Georgia against "irst-cass'
colored passengers seem to have interested
the Charleston colored people The News
and Courier says fishermen do not make
very extended excursions anywhere except
over the briny, and they are said TO go far
ther out on that element in their frail boats
than any local fishermen along the coast.
Five fishermen were seated on the railing of
the fish basin at the Mount Pleasant ferry
wharf day or two ago discussing the rail
road question. Tho chief spokesman, an
old salt of probably thirty years standing,
impressed upon the crowd that.the South
Carolina railway would sell any one of them
a tirst-class ticket to New York, and that
they would not be forced into anyJim Crow
car on the whole route The gist of the
conversation was that South Carolina gave
the negro better showing than Georgia.
